Weldon Long's "Your Quality of Life Depends on the Quality of Your Response" got me thinking of a recent event that happened to a friend. This person has really impressed me with her attitude. She suffered a setback, a misfortunate incident that at first infuriated her. After a little 'grieving', she decided that instead of letting the event knock her down for months to come, she would make the best of the situation. She decided to use this event to do something she has been putting off for a long time. She recognised that the unhappy incident created the perfect opportunity for her to move in on something she has been delaying.
It really always comes down to our individual response to a situation. We can let an unfortunate situation crush us, or we can choose to cut our losses and accept the WHAT IS. From there we can try to see how we can turn the situation to our advantage by noticing the opening where we can be proactive. Either way, it is our choice; who gets the upper hand is our choice.
Are there any situations in your life right now that you are choosing to be upset over so long that you fail to notice the potential gift that is being offered?
